Pondering Heart . . . Facing The Future

Dear Holy Friends, I am enjoying the fire and the light coating of snow on the ground this morning and I just listened to the MeryMe song, Joseph's Lullaby. What a lovely song. This poem comes from that place.   In His Grip, Chandra     Facing the Future   They sat at the edge of town neither ready to go home, each selfishly wanting to keep this moment for their own. After wrestling their own thoughts a few angel visits passed, Mary and Joseph stood facing their families at last. Each step took them closer there was no way to turn back, I look at them  and know their kind of faith I lack. I sit here awaiting Christmas celebrating His arrival on earth, but fear maybe I often miss the miracle behind His birth. I look at Mary and Joseph following God's unbelievable plan, and realize I would do well to imitate this woman and this man.   Chandra Lynn Smith, 12/11/10
